Why does the buttock hurt and the leg cannot be lifted or bent?

Patient's question:

Yesterday evening, I kicked my son on the buttocks. It was fine at the time, and he didn't mention any pain that night. This morning, when he got up, he said his buttocks hurt, he couldn't lift his leg, couldn't bend it, and bending over also hurt. He didn't go to the doctor.

Doctor's answer:

It may be caused by soft tissue injury, requiring local treatments such as massage, heat application, (closed-loop therapy), acupuncture, etc. Oral administration of blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing traditional Chinese medicine is also recommended. If the effect is not satisfactory, an X-ray or CT scan should be performed at the hospital. Avoid spicy, alcoholic, and other irritating foods during the day. Regular exercise and physical conditioning should be strengthened.
